And when it comes to your way, the experience you want to run, you have options. In fact, you have four: Cushion, Energize, Connect and Speed. They’re four distinct ways of experiencing the run and it’s your choice which one (or more than one), you run in. This month, we’re exploring each experience and what makes it unique so you can learn more about what to expect and what shoes fall in each category.

This week, we’re looking at the Cushion experience. Cushion is all about soft and protective shoes to cushion your every step. The experience encompasses a lot of shoes for Brooks, but some of the traits they all encompass include being soft, plush, generous and accommodating. For people who want to float through their run and feel like each step glides effortlessly, these shoes are for you.

Our friend Julie Stackhouse had this to say about her Cushion shoes the Glycerin 14s’: “I love my daily training runs in my Brooks Glycerins, they are the perfect training partners. At 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. and everything in between. They cushion the blow with each step I take, willing me to go faster, farther than the day before and enabling me to train 110 km weeks consistently on any terrain. They are my solemates and they look sharp, too!”

Remember that with Run Signature, you choose the experience; you won’t be prescribed a single shoe model that works for you. Once you determine how your body wants to run and the degree of support you need, you choose the experience you want on the run.
